possible command line parsing bug on Cygwin

[mark.yagnatinsky at barclays.com]

It appears that my attempts to "chase" emails on this list are not being taken to kindly.
(The most recent response actually really stung.)
So: I plan to not chase this thread.
This is not easy for me because I like "closure", but oh well.

I noticed a bug that is not inconveniencing me at all.
In fact, it's saving me a few characters of typing.
I consider it my duty as a good citizen to report it anyway.

Consider the following ssh invocation:

ssh -N -M -S skt -o ControlPersist=30 localhost

On Cygwin but not on Linux (don't know about BSD) the above command behaves as if "-f" was also given.
As it happens, I actually want -f anyway.  But this seems like it is not supposed to happen.

That's all from me.

Mark.
